Man arrested in Arcata today for carrying loaded handgun

A Rio Dell man was arrested early this morning on the Arcata Plaza after officers discovered he was carrying a loaded handgun.

Bryan Joseph Corbera, 23, was arrested without incident, according to a press release. He was booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm in public, disorderly conduct and public intoxication, and probation violation.

At about 1:50 a.m., Arcata police officers patrolling the area of the Arcata Plaza contacted Corbera on a park bench for public intoxication. The release said they conducted an investigation into his level of intoxication, determining he was too intoxicated to care for his own safety.

Corbera was placed under arrest on suspicion of disorderly conduct and public intoxication, the release said. During a search of Corbera, a loaded 9-mm handgun was found concealed inside the waistline of his pants.
